DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention generally relates to an indoor mobile wirelesscommunication data measurement system and more particularly to an indoorsignal property measuring device that utilizes a mobile personalcomputer connected to a receiver for measuring location specificwireless communication system signal properties and data networkthroughput properties within a facility and embedding the measuredproperties at the measurement location within a three-dimensionaldrawing of the facility stored in the computer.

2. Description of the Related Art

In recent years the use of wireless communication technology, such ascellular phone networks, has greatly increased. Moreover, it has becomecommon to implement wireless communication systems within buildings orlarge facilities comprising several buildings. Examples of typicalwireless communication systems are local area networks (LAN), wide areanetworks (WAN), or cellular phone networks such as PBX, or local loops.Due to the increasingly diverse applications of wireless communicationsystems, system designs have become increasingly complicated anddifficult to implement.

Common to all wireless communication system designs, regardless oftechnology, size or scale, is the need for measurement data at somepoint in the design process. Whether in the initial design stage or thefinal verification stage, no wireless communication system isimplemented without the input of measurement data. However, measurementacquisition in in-building environments is much more tedious and timeconsuming than in the macrocellular environment where measurementacquisition is carried out using Global Positioning System data todetermine the location of the measurement being taken. GlobalPositioning System (GPS) data, which so many RF engineers have come torely upon for outdoor measurement acquisition, is not an option formicrocell environments. Therefore, recording real-time measurement datawithin a building becomes a laborious, time-consuming task involvingscratched notes and blueprints and manual data entry which are bothexpensive and ineffectual in many respects.

In addition to measuring RF signal properties from emitted basetransceivers there is also a need to measure data throughput time incomputer data networks. Throughput time is the time required to transfera record or file of known size from one computer to another. In order tostandardize the measurement of data throughput time for comparison orverification purposes, files of a set size (e.g. 100K) are used andtransferred in packet sizes such as 512 bytes. Similar to RF signalattenuation, data throughput time is also a function of transmissiondistance and signal obstruction (e.g. walls, doors, partitions), as wellas multipath propagation and the specific radio modem design.

Various signal property measurement acquisition tools and systems havebeen developed to aid in the design of wireless communication systemssuch as PenCat™, Walkabout PCS™ and TEMS Light.

LCC International Inc. offers the PenCat™ as a pen-based collection andanalysis tool for wireless communication design that runs on a smallhand-held tablet computer. The PenCat™ system enables a user to roamabout a building, take signal property measurement data at a location inthe building using a receiver linked to the tablet computer, and linkthe measured data to that building location on a computer maprepresenting the building by tapping the appropriate portion of the mapon the computer screen with a stylus pen. The building map can beentered into the PenCat™ system by either scanning blueprints, sketchingthe building within the application, or importing from another source.

Safco Technologies, Inc. offers the Walkabout PCS™ system as a portablesurvey coverage system for use in indoor or outdoor wirelesscommunication system design. Similar to PenCat™, the Walkabout PCS™system utilizes a hand-held computer linked to a receiver for measuringsignal properties at a given location and linking the measured propertydata to that location represented on a stored computer map.

Ericsson Radio Quality Information Systems offers the TEMS Light systemas a verification tool for wireless communication indoor coverage. TheTEMS Light system utilizes a Windows-based graphical interface on amobile computer linked to a receiver to allow a user to view a storedbuilding map, make location specific data measurements, and link themeasured data to the represented location on the stored computer map.

In addition to the above-discussed wireless communication systemsverification tools, various wireless communication system predictiontools have also been devised such as Wireless Valley CommunicationsIncorporated's Predictor™ and Ericsson Radio Quality InformationSystems' TEMS. Predictor™ allows a wireless communication systemdesigner to predict the coverage area of a particular wireless system ina building or across multiple buildings. Predictor™ creates a computersimulation using a computer stored building or facility database and adefined transceiver location and type within the database. Based on thebuilding configuration and building material properties defined in thedatabase a prediction of the coverage area of the wireless system isextrapolated by site-specific propagation whereby rays drawn between thetransmitter and receiver and three-dimensional building information areused for prediction computations. The TEMS system predicts indoorcoverage of a wireless system based on a stored building map and inputbase transceiver locations and types using statistical radio coveragemodels.

While the above-mentioned design and verification tools have aidedwireless system designers in creating indoor wireless communicationsystems using building drawings and linking data measurements tobuilding drawings, none of the devices, except Predictor™, incorporatethree-dimensional building drawings to enhance the design process.Further, the above-mentioned devices and systems lack the ability totrack a roving user within the building while the user is takingmeasurement data. Even further, none of the above-mentioned devicescontemplates measuring data throughput properties for a computer datanetwork at various locations within a facility. These capabilities maybe required for installation and management of wireless devices forglobal network access.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is therefore an object of the present invention to facilitatemeasurement data acquisition for designing wireless communicationsystems within a facility.

It is another object of the present invention to scan, sketch, or importdrawings of a facility into a computer to create a three-dimensionaldrawing database.

It is another object of the present invention to embed measuredlocation-specific signal properties in a site-specific three-dimensionaldrawing database.

It is yet another object of the present invention to embed measuredlocation-specific LAN data throughput properties in a site-specificthree-dimensional drawing database.

It is still another object of the present invention to track a userwithin a building using a distance measuring mechanism and a storedsite-specific three-dimensional drawing database.

It is yet another object of the present invention to average incomingmeasurement data over an interval of time or a unit distance.

The invention uses a three-dimensional drawing database of a facilityand can position measured site-specific signal property informationwithin a microcell environment using small, portable transceivers orreceivers which continually report their measurement findings inreal-time through a communication link with a computer (e.g., serialport, parallel port, or buffering circuit). The computer may be apersonal computer, laptop, or other mobile computer. The process oftaking in-building measurement data is then reduced to simply setting upa test transmitter at the selected facility site, configuring thetransmitter within the three-dimensional drawing database, connectingthe portable transceiver or receiver to the computer, and roamingthroughout the three-dimensional drawing environment, identifying wherethe receiver is in the building at any given time by pointing andclicking within the drawing or employing a location tracking mechanism.A wheeled tracking mechanism is carried with a user and linked to thecomputer for measuring roaming distance between time intervals based onthe number of wheel rotations. At each time interval the receiverlocation is identified, using the distance traveled by the trackingmechanism. Simultaneously, measurement data from the connected receiveris recorded, logged, and embedded directly in the three-dimensionaldrawing at the identified location. While the wheeled tracking mechanismis described in the preferred embodiment, other types of tracking ordistance measuring devices can be used (e.g. laser range finder, sonarrange finder).

An alternative to using a tracking device is to select a startinglocation in the stored three-dimensional facility drawing database andbegin walking and measuring signal properties. Then select a stoppinglocation once the walking and measuring process is stopped. Based on thestarting and stopping locations the computer calculates a straight linepath between the locations and distributes the measured data in one ofseveral user specified formats. The user may specify that the measureddata be distributed along the path at intervals of time, distributedalong the path at units of length, or averaged and distributed along thepath at units of length or time.

Using similar measurement acquisition methods described above the datathroughput properties of a wireless computer data network can also bemeasured. This is accomplished by creating a link between a servercomputer and a mobile client computer, transferring a record ofstandardized size between the server and mobile client computer, andmeasuring the time required to transfer the record. This process can becarried out at a plurality of locations within a facility. At eachlocation the measured time is recorded and embedded at the measurementlocation within a three-dimensional facility drawing database.Additionally, the server computer can also be mobile.

In addition to creating a three-dimensional database model andperforming measurements in in-facility wireless communications and datanetworks the invention is capable of verifying the signal properties anddata throughput properties of existing wireless communication and datanetworks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Referring now to FIG. 1 there is shown a mobile system 10 for measuringlocation-specific signal properties within a facility such as a buildingor a campus of buildings (not shown). A transceiver or receiver forreceiving signals from a base transceiver is connected to a mobilecomputer 12 through the computer's serial port (not shown). The computer12 runs a software program (not shown) and has a display 14 fordisplaying a three-dimensional facility drawing stored on the mobilecomputer's disk drive and a wheeled distance measuring device 18 formeasuring the distance traversed by the user of the mobile computer 12as he/she roams about the facility. When measurement data is to berecorded, the user may manually point and click on the building drawingportion on the display 14 representing his/her actual location in thefacility and take a measurement. Once recorded, the measurement datawill be logged and embedded in the stored three-dimensional buildingdrawing database at that location. Alternately, the user may employ thedistance measuring device 18 connected to the mobile computer 12. Usingthe distance measuring device 18 a user may select a starting point inthe building drawing displayed on the computer display 14 using manualcoordinate input or a point and click device 11. Once the starting pointis defined the user begins walking in a predefined direction such thatat periodic time intervals the distance from the input starting point isrecorded and signal measurement is taken. Both the distance measurementand signal measurement are embedded in the building drawing database asa measurement and corresponding building drawing location. Alternately,in addition to or in lieu of the wheeled distance measuring device 18shown in FIG. 1, other distance measuring devices may be used.

The three-dimensional building drawing database stored in the mobilecomputer 12 may be imported from another computer, scanned in from anexisting paper drawing, or drawn using the computer 12. Regardless ofhow the drawings are entered into mobile computer 12, the drawings maybe manipulated and modified within the computer depending on the needsof the user.

The system described in FIG. 1 is capable of interfacing with a varietyof transceivers or receivers such as, but not limited to, theZK-Celltest SAM with cellular phone and real-time serial port interface,the Tektronix 2782 Spectrum Analyzer with a real-time IEEE 488.2Minterface, a Proxim RangeLAN™ wireless modem, and a receiver withoutrealtime interface.

FIG. 2A shows a portion of a building floor represented on a computerscreen 20 using a stored three-dimensional building drawing database.The building floor plan is shown as a typical top plan view whereinwalls and partitions are noted by double lines and doorways are denotedby dotted lines. Before measurement gathering, the location of a basetransceiver 22 is first entered into the three-dimensional buildingdrawing database wherein the location is the two-dimensional position (xand y axis) of the transceiver within the plane of the floor and theheight (z) of the transceiver above the floor. Then the user roamsthroughout the building with a mobile measuring apparatus as shown inFIG. 1, selects a location point 24, and measures the desired signalproperties received from the transceiver 22. The measured signalproperties are then logged and embedded into the three-dimensionalbuilding drawing database at the selected location point. Afterselecting a location 24 and making a measurement, the user may selectmore locations 26, 28, 30 and take more measurements at these respectivelocations for embedding in the building drawing database. Similar to thetransceiver location, the height above the floor of measurementlocations 24, 26, 28, 30 can also be specified. Hereinafter, locationwill be considered a three-dimensional position.

After the location-specific measurements 24, 26, 28, 30 have been taken,logged and embedded into the building drawing database, the results foreach location can be displayed on the computer screen 20 as shown inFIG. 2B by 24′, 26′, 28′, 30′. For example, as shown at point 24, ameasured signal of −78.0 dBm was recorded, at point 26 a measured signalof −88.1 dBm was recorded, and so on.

FIG. 3 shows an alternate method for measurement acquisition using auser location tracking device. First, the base transmitter type andlocation 40 are defined in the building drawing database. Then astarting location 42 and a direction of travel 44 are defined in thebuilding drawing database. Once the starting location 42 and directionof travel 44 are defined, the user simply starts the measurement processand walks in the defined direction. While walking, signal propertymeasurements and the distance traveled from the starting point 42 aretaken at periodic time intervals. Then using the defined starting point42, direction of travel 44, and distance traveled a location within thebuilding is calculated by the mobile user computer and the recordedmeasurement and location are embedded in the building drawing database.Several signal property measurements and corresponding distancemeasurements can be taken between the starting point 42 and the end ofthe operation. Additionally, instead of defining a direction of travel,start and stop points 46 and 48, respectively, may be defined within thedrawing database such that the user walks between the two points 46 and48, and a tracking device 18 measures the distance traveled while signalproperty measurements are taken at periodic time intervals and embeddedin the building drawing database at the calculated location betweenpoints 46 and 48.

Another method of acquiring measurement data is for the user to specifya starting location 46, by clicking on the displayed building database,and walk a straight path while the attached measurement receiver ismeasures signal properties of signals emitted from base transceiver 40.The user then identifies the location 48 where he/she stopped walking,by clicking on the displayed building database. The computer thencalculates a linear path 50 between the start 46 and stop 48 points.After the linear path 50 is calculated, the user has several options fordistributing the measured data along the linear path 50 for subsequentembedding in the building drawing database. The user can specify thatdata should be recorded and embedded at specified time intervals. Inthis case, the recorded data is spaced evenly along the linear path 50with each sequential measurement separated by the specified timeinterval. The other option is to distribute by distance. In this case,the recorded data is spaced evenly along the linear path 50 with eachsequential measurement separated by a specified unit length. If moremeasurement data is available than recording slots along the path, thedata can be averaged.

Using the measurement acquisition methods described in conjunction withFIGS. 2A and 3, signal properties can be measured at each floor of amulti-story building separately or all floors can be measured in asingle run so long as the appropriate floor location is entered at thetime of a measurement recording. Once measurements are recorded for thedesired floors a three-dimensional model can be formed by either joiningthe separate floor measurements or using the single run having multiplefloors.

FIG. 4A shows a three-dimensional representation of a building 80 asmight be seen on a mobile computer screen (FIG. 1). The building 80 hasthree floors 82, 84, 86. Measurement of the signal properties fromtransceiver 81 on floor 86 may be accomplished either on a floor byfloor basis or as a single run. For example, signal property measurementlocations 88, 90, 92 are measured on floor 82 and stored. Then, signalproperty measurement locations 94, 96 are measured on floor 84 andstored. Then, signal property measurement location 98 is measured onfloor 86 and stored. Finally, all of the stored floors 82, 84, 86 alongwith the measured data embedded in each floor, may be aligned and joinedtogether as a single database from which a model of the measured signalproperties may be constructed. Alternately, measurement locations 88,90, 92, 94, 96, 98 may be taken in random order and input into a singlemulti-floor database so long as the correct location of measurement usgiven. The correct location means the floor with the height above thefloor (Z axis) on which the measurement is being taken and the locationcoordinates within the plane of the floor (X and Y axis) where themeasurements are taken.

FIG. 4B is a three-dimensional computer model of measured signalproperties taken in FIG. 4A wherein the model may represent the bestcoverage area in building 80 based on the location of transceiver 81.However, it should be understood that the model 100 is simplified forexemplary purposes. Actual models will vary greatly in shape, size andcomplexity due to building configurations, transceiver placement,building materials, and the data being represented. Additionally, modelscan be created for any measured signal property.

FIG. 5A shows a portion of a building floor represented on a computerscreen 60 using a stored facility drawing database. The building floorplan is shown as a typical top plan view wherein walls and partitionsare noted by double lines and doorways are denoted by dotted lines.Before measurement gathering, the location of a base server computer 62is first entered into the facility drawing database. Then the user roamsthroughout the facility with a mobile measuring apparatus as shown inFIG. 1, selects a location point 64, initiates a File Transfer Protocol(FTP), and connects to the base server computer 62 as a client. Onceconnected to the base server computer 62 the mobile measuring apparatusacting as a client computer transfers a selectable standard size file(e.g. between 1 Kb and 10 Mb) and a selectable packet size (e.g. 32bytes to 4 Kb) to the base server computer and records the datathroughput time for location 64. The measured and recorded datathroughput time is then embedded into the building drawing database atthe selected location point 64. After selecting a location 64 and makinga measurement, the user may select more locations 66, 68, 70 and takemore measurements at these respective locations for embedding in thebuilding drawing database.

After the location-specific measurements 64, 66, 68, 70 have been taken,logged and embedded into the building drawing database, the results foreach location can be displayed on the computer screen 60 as shown inFIG. 5B by 64′, 66′, 68′, 70′. For example, as shown at point 64′, ameasured throughput time of 54.2 kbps was recorded, at point 66′ ameasured throughput time of 53.0 kbps was recorded, and so on.

The data throughput property gathering scheme outlined in conjunctionwith FIG. 5A can be carried out for each floor in a multi-floor facilityor, as shown in FIG. 4A, as a single run so long as the correct floor isselected from the facility drawing database at the time of measurement.Once data throughput measurements are recorded for the desired floors athree-dimensional model can be formed by either joining the separatefloor measurements or using the single run containing multiple floors.Similar to FIG. 4B, a three-dimensional computer model created from themeasured data may be configured to model the measured throughputproperties in various useful ways such as the best throughput timelocations or the degradation or improvement of throughput time based onlocation.

Note that in addition to data throughput rate over the wireless channel,the present invention incorporates the ability to measure frame errors,packet retries, network data throughput, and network delay due to thefixed non-wireless portion of any network, such capabilities beingdependent upon the specific connected radio transceivers or receiversand the particular transfer protocol.
